The letter is dated by Bradley's complaining reference to a passage on the British "landocracy" holding their land "by the power of the sword" in the August Atlantic Monthly. The article in question is "War and Non-Resistance".

Braithwaite takes offence at BR's statement on obtaining comfort from religion that "you will do less harm to yourself and to the world if you get it from gin". BR made the remark at a discussion to mark the publication of Wisdom and the West.

Bridge is editing the correspondence between W.B. Yeats and T. Sturge Moore for publication. BR and his ideas are discussed in some of the letters, and she encloses those specific references, but is willing to send the whole work if BR wishes to see it.

Bridge is the daughter of Stanley Makower. BR answered this letter on 31 March 1952 (RA1 750).

This document has been annotated by BR: "[Britten was Sec. of Catholic Truth Soc. Had to see Ray and Karin <Costelloe> were brought up as Catholics]". The telegram conveys congratulations on BR's election to a fellowship.

BR is asked to speak at a conference at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The topics to be discussed are "Criticism: an Imperative Art in a Free Society" and "The Arts: Critical Expressions of this Society." The dates of the conference are April 21-23, 1961.

This response is written on the verso of document .047815: "Reply Sir the only advice I can give you is to marry the lady at the earliest possible moment. [I suspected the letter as being a trap by the police]".

Brown thanks BR for the advice he gave him in 1924 and for the work that he does in general. They also argued over the approach to Nazism in 1939. In B.C. BR's views are much discussed, following a CBC television interview.

Patricia Russell states that she usually writes BR's letters for him. She discusses India, Churchill's imperialism, and Dunkirk.

The British authorities have not wanted to employ BR in any capacity, although he has repeatedly offered his services. She encloses a circular (not present) sent out in thousands. One of the BR lecture topics advertised is "Prospects of Anglo-American Friendship". No one has requested such a lecture. "Not long ago he wrote an article in which he tried to show that England is not a nation of fox-hunting imperialists, but no magazine would publish it...." BR is writing on medieval philosophy just now.
